Here we go again with our characteristic disgrace of what is left of the prestige of this nation. When we make our mess, we do not weigh it. When the international press does a documentary, we are so shocked at the conclusions they make that our leaders take turm to condemn such reports. The truth is often that they are too shocked to believe that it is their actions that are so audacious and disheartening.
Someone walked in and killed a serving miniister of justice and nothing has happened till date. Crimes like this only serve to enbolden potential criminals. many people have been abducted before nd ransome collected. commissioners, local government chairmen, wives of political figures, influencial businessmen and their damilies not to count the expatriates. Ransome has continued to be paid and collected and denials have continued. so we are not bothered about the details the police is not releasing about Okonjo-Iweala’s mother. we have been told that no one paid. but we have our doubts. The part that remains is telling a credible story about how and why the woman was released. They are keeping that to themselves and eeveryone is free to guess why. in most parts of the world, it is easy to kidnap. The test is how you pick the ransome and get away from the police. but in my country………whatever you put in the space you will answer for.

The Bible teaches that righteousness exalts a nation. The other side of the coin is indeed worrisome. What does unrighteousness – institutionalized unrighteousness – do to a nation? I just took a cursory look at the number of people this nation has wronged and whose blood cry out on a daily basis to be avenged just like the case of Cain and Abel. Like always, my thoughts are just thought. you can take them, use them, slam them but you cannot shut your eyes to them.
